Make connections

We’re in this together

The Active Minds National Office is staffed with a diverse group of passionate individuals who, above all, are here to support the vital mental health advocacy work that you’re doing. We create content, facilitate connections, solicit feedback from students, answer questions, and cheer you on!

You are also connected to thousands of fellow peer leaders who are at the ready to answer questions and offer support. Below are some really great ways to learn more and connect with folks who are all in this together!

We’re here for you.

Monthly Office Hours

Once a month the National Office hosts 30-minute sessions with staff, student leaders, experts in the field, and others where you can learn about public health best practices, chapter success tips, and more! Learn more about office hours and register today.

Student Advisory Committee

Each spring, we welcome new members to the Student Advisory Committee, comprised of up to 20 students from across the country who show extraordinary leadership and dedication to Active Minds. The committee is an advisory body to the national office that brings the student perspective to organizational decision making.
